Part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), this new funding represents one of the largest single grants and first research facility renovation-focused award to the University of Cincinnati (UC) from the federal economic stimulus package. The grant is expected to stimulate local economic growth through the addition of up to 12 new faculty research jobs within UC’s environmental health department and 30 construction-related jobs per year during active renovation.

A National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant totaling nearly $5 million will fund extensive renovations of the University of Cincinnati (UC) College of Medicine’s Department of Environmental Health.
